The world of energy is constantly changing and requires more economical and ecological solutions; Fuel prices increases and photovoltaic cost decrease, added to the need to reduce CO 2 emissions, have given rise to a new method of energy production: hybridization.
The solar energy is linked to the external environment, it is not possible to control the production and use it as a single source, it is appropriate to complete the power with a generator in parallel.
The MASTER 2.0 equipment meets this need for managing energy sources by running parallel the generator to the PV, and exploiting the maximum solar power when available, to minimize the fuel consumption.
When the photovoltaic production becomes too low, the diesel becomes the only source of production. This case study highlights the MASTER 2.0 installed to synchronize and manage solar power and diesel power automatically.
Features specific to this project are:
- Automatic diesel generator synchronization on the solar production bus
- Automatic decoupling solar on low power production
- Load management of the generator on real time, based on solar available power calculation
- Sending a limit setpoint to solar power during production peak
- Management of load banks reactive power control
Products installed
- MASTER 2.0
- CPA (power transducer for solar flow measurement)
- Inputs/Outputs extension for controlling load banks and limiting power
